Now

A time to remember:

Whatever happens I will create no more problems; I will create no more pain for myself.    The Power of Now
   Eckhart Tolle

If we don’t look into hope and fear, seeing a thought arise, seeing the chain reaction that follows, if we don’t train ourselves to sit with that energy without getting snared by the drama, then we are always going to be afraid.
   When Things Fall Apart
   Pema Chodron

Practicing mindfulness I can recognize what is happening in the present without grasping or aversion. I can practice mere recognition of what is going on within me and around me without judgment or reactions. This helps me to keep stability and freedom alive within myself.
Touching the Earth
   Thich Nhat Hanh

The goal of psychoanalysis is to make unconscious process conscious.
Sigmund Freud

Never give up
No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
. . .
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends but
to everyone, be compassionate
Work for peace in your heart and in
the world
Work for peace, and I say again
Never give up
His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
